The food was amazing. Best shawarma I've had in the area. The service is great and they have late hours which is a plus.

Delicious hidden gem for shawarmas! I am used to getting the shawarmas out in DC so I am happy to find there has been this spot locally that is just as good. I got the chicken shawarma on shrak combo. The shawarma itself is HUGE and cut in half. I could not finish and had the second half for lunch the next day and it was still just as good. Ingredients are fresh and you are able to customize the ingredients you want in your shawarma. Only thing I have to say is the meats themselves lack some flavor. Without the sauces your experience would be different. Instantly regretted not asking for extra garlic sauce. Service is very quick and location has decent indoor and outdoor seating

I won't lie, I'm incredibly disappointed with this place. Haifa Grill has been on my hit list for a while given its popularity and recommendations for good Shawarma. Quick service and a homey, humble interior. But, the taste of their food was not what I expected. I've had lots of shawarma in my life and in general love lots of flavor and spice. Their Chicken Shawarma was VERY bland and salty. I was surprised how bland and dry the chicken was. The sauces and veggies made it more palatable, but this was not it. Good, big portion sizes, but not the best Shawarma in the NOVA/DMV area unfortunately.

Chicken Shawarma with Pita Bread
Makaylah S.

Came by after leaving DC and tried their falafel pita and tabouleh as well as a chicken shawarma on pita w garlic sauce to go. We grabbed drinks on the way out. Both wraps were amazing flavor wise, and the tabouleh was fresh. After you order at the register you are then called by number to customize your order toppings at the counter. I wanted to note though that while in theory that way of ordering works^.. it seemed to really strain the employees serving food given how busy it was this evening (and prob every weekend). The person in front of us was super rude to the man serving toppings/making wraps.. And while he handled it really well, that maybe would not happen if you were only able to specify what could be on the sandwich at the register itself. A lot of kabob/halal spots give you the sandwich options with all toppings included, and if you want otherwise you have to then say what not to add- which may work better here given how amazingly packed they were for a Sunday.

Huge portions, reasonable prices! I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice and a side of hummus and pita. The shawarma came with pickles, onion, tomato and a white sauce. It was a little bland so I added hot sauce, but glad to have a healthy meal and enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I ordered delivery so I can't speak to how the restaurant or service in store is, but my food was prepared and delivered quickly.

Beef Shawarma wrap in the making

The biggest shawarma wrap I've ever seen! Enough to feed two! Once you select your meat, you pick from a varied selection of veggies. I asked for everything; seasoned onions, dill pickle, tomato, lettuce, etc. Big, tasty, and reasonably priced, that's a winning combination.

Beef Shawarma Platter
Talia L.

This place is straight gas. I've never had a shrak before but it was like a thin blanket that wrapped all the food up securely, way better than a pita sandwich which I feel like never holds the food together. The pickles added the perfect tanginess to pull all the flavors together. Both the beef and chicken were very tender and moist, you can't go wrong with either one. I do recommend the shrak over the platter though. Their pita bread formed a perfect pocket and none of it was sticking together. Service was quick and easy, plenty of spacious seating upstairs.

Chicken Shawarma Shrak (SO GOOD)
Cham K.

Driving here put me in a bad mood haha The awkward turns to get into the parking lot and then finding out the parking lot is very small and incomplete... whew, I had to park in the lot next door. I wasn't sure what to expect inside after that fiasco, but wow, i'm glad I made it inside. I got the Chicken Shawarma Shrak, all spreads and toppings included (pickles on the side). This was one of the BEST Chicken Shawarma wraps I've ever had in the area. A lot of places make it too dry, but Haifa's was moist and full of flavor. Very generous in size too. Worth the headache of driving and parking there, I promise you!

Their best juice

Drove an hour here and was more than satisfied leaving! I ordered the chicken shawarma in shrak with their spicy sauce & hummus, along with all toppings available. The flavor was amazing, portion size is literally for two people so come hungry. Customer service was splendid as well. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!!

Maria K.

Tasty chicken shawarma and huge portions! You can choose which fillings you want included in your wrap, I included everything and loved it. The place is super casual and they prepared my shawarma quickly, however it did get busy soon after I got there. The parking lot right outside is also quite small though and can be tricky to park in.

My first time was last night and my friend had to act as the designated spotter to find it. Talk about up in the cut.. Omg! I drove past it three times before she said.. "there it is, next to the Ax Throwing place".. Lol! Finally, we entered and was thoroughly impressed. We started in the huge non-smoking side to partake in a little Happy Hour food and drinks that last until 9pm Mon-Fri.. Can't beat that. It has a large bar, table seating along with booth seating if that's your desired choice. It had a setup for the guest band, dance floor and a DJ. Hookah is also allowed on this side so I guess it's not TOTALLY non-smoking.. Lol. After our bellies were full, we stepped into the cigar lounge and I thought I was in Atlanta, where all the lounges have amazing ventilation systems. No smoke smell AT ALL! It has two giant tv's as we enjoyed watching the US Open. It has a nice sized bar and several tables for large crowds. The humidor is modest, however, you can bring your own stogies and there's no cut fee attached.. Dope! Drinks prices are excellent for such an establishment. Less than $20 for a generous Basil Hayden's pour had me giddy!! Service was spot on and I had to force myself to leave or I would have definitely been tipsy! If you love a good stogie every now and then and your girl won't go with you because of the smell, take her here, she won't be complaining and you'll both have a great time!!!

The owners are friends of our uncles so one cousin suggested we continue our after hours celebration here. My husband and I are noooooo fans of cigars but this place was cool and we decided to just go with the flow... Hemen Lounge is very grown & sexy...One part cigar lounge and the other side is a huge bar and had plenty space, seating around the dance floor and a stage where a band was playing. I even bumped into a cousin walking through to find the restroom. They served food. We didn't order food from here but we saw plenty ordering things ranging from tibs to wings... The ventilation system was AMAZING!! My hair didn't wreak of smoke lol I would definitely come back here. Happy Yelping!

The music selection is always on point, making it a great spot to chill. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating. You can lounge on velvet couches along the sides or sit at tables with chairs to the right. There's also a cute photo op spot at the front with neon signage. The hookah prices are affordable, and you've got to try our favorite blend: watermelon, peach, and mint. Trust me, you'll love it! When it comes to food, the chicken kabob is a must-try. The consistency is key here--it never misses. The rice is fragrant and flavorful with a hint of spice from the herbs they use. The chicken kabob is juicy, and the salad is a nice touch for some green intake. Don't forget the sauce! Parking is plentiful, and it's just minutes away from Springfield Mall. The vibes are always chill and welcoming. Hope you enjoy your time there

It was like a bait and switch. The hookah was good. We tried skittles and it actually tasted like skittles. The food was ok but still off. The chicken kabob was more like chicken medallions and the lamb wrap was small. I was disappointed the food was served on chipped plates and utensils were plastic. I could just think of the micro plastics getting stirred in the hot tea I saw across the room. It you are looking for a relaxed hookah spot to get some work done, this may be your spot.

It's dark and uninviting. The windows have what looks like packing paper over them to keep prying eyes and the sun out. It's like some sort of cheesy clubhouse or something. My shisha wasn't very good either as it wasn't the flavor I ordered and when I opened the foil up, the tobacco was packed extremely tightly (this is wrong). As Nicole mentioned, there used to be a lot of drugs dealt outside and a lot of unsavory characters around this place. I gather that it has gotten a little better, but I've still heard from nearby shop owners that there are still problems with the clientele who visit this far end of the shopping strip. Hit Fairouz a few doors down for a more adult and welcoming experience.

I have always gone to Enat a couple miles down the road the past few years, but it was always unpredictable how it would be. Sometimes the food and service was fantastic, other times it was Ok, and last month it was awful...so last night when we were craving Ethiopian food, we decided to try Monarch. The service was absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing! The two of us ordered the vegetarian combo and I don't remember what meat/tibs because we asked the server which one she recommended and went with that. The food was definitely better than a couple other Ethiopian places I have been to in the area and the portion was generous! I almost thought we accidentally ordered a double portion of meat because it was a much bigger portion than I received from other places. I had leftovers for later that night and again today. The food was a little bit longer of a wait than I expected, but to me that just means they are making it from scratch and that it is fresh. The bill came to around $30 before tip which is quite a deal for that much food of great quality. The service was also very good with our server being friendly and attentive. Not only that, two other workers there...maybe the owner or chef (I'm not sure) dropped by to check on how we were and how the food was. If they keep this up, watch out Enat and other Ethiopian places in the area. You have some competition from Monarch!

They have outdoor covered seating on a patio area and two people tables against the building. (There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke and a few men sitting on the patio; not sure if they were smoking but there were ashtrays one the outside two person tables). Food was ready and the employee was very nice and informed me the restaurant name changed since they were now serving hard liquor; so that's awesome for the future after the pandemic! The area appeared very clean and pretty spacious. The food smelled so good in the car ride home! We got the awaze beef and lamb tibs and both were good but the beef really hit the craving!! The meal came with a small salad and some sauce (not spicy) and the best part was the food being served on top of the injera so it didn't leave a giant sauce mess in the plastic bag or my car! Yay!! Since our favorite Ethiopian place in Alexandria closed this is going to fill the void!! Can't wait to come back and try more items!
